His most intimate associate was Har-

Nellie grew up into beautiful, refin-

girls of her age.
When our story opened, Nellie had

tall and sleuder, with light brown
HAIR, and deep violet eyes, that gently
beamed upon you like the first star of
evening.
While She inherited her mothers
loving and trusting disposition, she
also possessed her fathers detarmina-
ton, and was altogether superior to
the girls of the pres sent day.
On the adjoining farm lived Young
girl, near Nellie's own age, named
Belle Grahame. She was above aver
age height, with dark hair and ewes,
and was considered quite pretty. The
two girls were firm friends, and We're
nearly always together.
Nellie had gone fishing alone this

such expeditions.

After the Young artist had assisted
her to mount she cordially shook

him alone thinking over what had

her excitement had caused her to over
